H4 to F1 Visa Stamping in Canada

[vaisehi88]

Hello

My wife is currently on H4 visa valid till Sep 30- 2016.

1) She would like to to study in USA on F1 visa (received I-20 as well). if we decide to go Canada for her F1 stamping (end of July 2016) can she get her student visa stamped to F1 visa? Is it advisible?

2) Also, in worst case scenario if F1 visa is rejecected, can she travel back to USA with the current Valid H4 visa or H4 visa is also cancelled due to F1 denial?

Please note we am not doing a change of status for my visa within USA, instead thinking to go to Canada for stamping from H4 to F1.

3) Additionally, my current H1B Visa Extension is in process, so can I travel to Canada (in July - 2016) with the current validity of my H1B till Sep 2016? or if I travel my I-94# number will change and it might cause some issue with the extension process.

Please advice.

H4 to F1

Hi roshinis674

If you have not yet applied this may help you out.

Even I am in same situation. Couple of days back I applied for Vancouver embassy to change from H4 to F1( gave a try). Unexpectedly I got approved which I never expected.

Interview was cool ..I was asked just two questions GPA(finished few courses on H4) and University name. After answering I heard the beautiful word from his mouth APPROVED.

Later landed in US on F1.

Thanks for the reply.
I have an appointment in Montreal next month and wanted to know how long did it take for you to collect your passport once it was approved. Need to make travel arrangements accordingly and what all documents did you take for the interview.

Hi everyone,

I am on H4 visa and I am planning to study. I applied at couple of universities and got admission in one of the university. My term starts from May 2020. Before that I want to convert my visa and get f1 visa stamped. I was initially planning to visit my home country India during the month of April and get the visa stamped. Due to the current scenario of corona virus, it’s not possible for me to travel to India, therefore I’m planning to get my visa stamped in Canada. I want some advices and suggestions is Canada a good option to get f1 visa stamped ?

Hello Everyone,

I am on H4 visa and I am planning to study. I got admission in one of the university. My term starts from August 2020. Before that I want to convert my visa and get f1 visa stamped. Due to the current scenario of corona virus, it’s not possible for me to travel to India, therefore I’m planning to get my visa stamped in Canada. I need some advice and suggestions to know if Canada is a good option to get f1 visa stamped. Kindly help me.

Thank you

apply for H4 to F1 COS and start your studies.
No need to get a stamp right away. Let the covid-19 situation settle down.

Canada is a good option
